Vatican City, Oct 31, 2005 / 12:00 am (CNA).- On Monday, the Holy See announced Pope Benedict XVI’s prayer and mission intentions for the month of November. Both seek to build up the vocations of married people and priests.

Specifically, the Pope’s general prayer intention for the month of November is: "That married people may imitate the example of conjugal holiness shown by so many couples in the ordinary conditions of life."

Similarly, his mission intention is: "That pastors of mission territories may recognize with constant care their duty to foster the permanent formation of their own priests."
